'By this stage, everybody who observed what happened in Iraq with the Islamic State should know that the main influencer in Iraq is Iran,' he said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. 'That’s an unpopular perception in the United States, after spending so much money and lives lost in the conflict, but it’s reality.' . ... . Mr. Shroder said that at the moment, the only force with the ability to bring Kurdish troops, the Iraqi Army and the Shiite militias together to fight the Islamic State is Iran.

Ah. The mindblowingly stupid idiot in the video below reminds me of a tweet by CNN reporter Bill Weir:

Arguments also made by Senator Inhofe:

"It's not raining right now, therefore it has never rained"

"I dropped a quarter and it landed right in my shoe. Quarters always land in shoes."

and let's not forget:

"You covered your face with your hands said 'peekab--'OH MY GOD THERE'S YOUR FACE AGAIN"

Ladies and gentleman, Senator James Inhofe--one of the most powerful people in the country.

So number one, Reading Rainbow was not cancelled because it was not effective. Reading Rainbow was the most used television resource in our nation’s classroom. In 2009, it was [cancelled] due to No Child Left Behind. That government policy made a choice between teaching the rudiments of reading and fostering a love of reading. So the idea that I am trying to somehow revive a failed endeavor is bullshit. That’s right. I said it. Bullshit.

'Latino voters are repelled, and the loud but small contingent of immigration opponents have backed the Republican Party into a corner that they don’t have the courage to break out of,' Gutierrez said during an impassioned House speech Tuesday. 'So, Mr. Speaker, I give you George W. Bush, the man who will go down in history as the last Republican president in American history.'

An impassioned speech by Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) warns House Republicans that they are digging their own grave.

The Good ol' Boys strike again: Senate Republicans Block Bill on Equal Pay

Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked legislation meant to close the pay gap between men and women, framing an election-year fight between the parties over whose policies are friendlier to women.

It should be noticed that Senate Republicans didn't just block the bill, they blocked a discussion about the bill. (Sorry about the picture...couldn't resist.)

Hey (American) Women, just a quick FYI: Senate Republicans chose not to even allow a DISCUSSION about a bill that would ensure that you get paid equally for doing the same job as a man.

Why the #CockInASock Thing Is Vain Bullshit

Last week, 2.6 million women sacrificed their makeup, raised their tired arms in the air, pouted, and took a #nomakeupselfie to raise awareness for breast cancer. This week, boys have found their own inane counterpart: the #cockinasock.

The cock-in-a-sock concept, though probably as old as socks themselves, was most memorably championed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and since then it has gone from strength to strength, appearing in American Pie and bringing the homoerotic LOLs far and wide, from boarding school dorms to stinking holiday flats in Tenerife. That is, until now, when it’s become the latest weapon in the fight against ball cancer.

If you’re wondering what putting a sock on your dick and posting a picture of it on the internet has to do with raising money for charity, the mechanism is the same as the #nomakeupselfie. Take your picture, text the word “BEAT” to 70099 to donate three bucks to fighting cancer, and then encourage the giggling co-workers on your Facebook page to do the same. It’s the kind of viral campaign that gacky brand marketers strive a lifetime to come up with.

Go to the 2:50 mark to see what it looks like to BASE jump from atop the 1,776-foot One World Trade Center. And just be aware that about six months later, these dudes were arrested and charged with burglary, reckless endangerment and, um, jumping from the structure. (via the New York Daily News)

Lady Gaga’s Charity Spent Ten Times More on Social Media Than Charity Its First Year

ASSOCIATED PRESS Lady Gaga’s album-themed charity only gave out $5,000 in grants in 2012, after spending $1.85 million on lawyer, PR and social media fees. As the New York Post gleefully reported Wednesday, the Born This Way Foundation’s tax filings show several five- and six-figure fees for things like legal costs ($406,552), publicity ($58,678), social media ($50,000) and “philanthropic consulting” ($150,000). The tax forms don’t, however, say where the funds came from — and in 2011 Gaga announced that she would front the bulk of the money for the foundation when it launched the next year.

Not to blindly defend the Born This Way Foundation--I am not expert on the structure of the organization--but sometimes a NGO or non-profit measures success with something other than "Amount of money donated to charity".

In the case of the Born This Way Foundation, their aims are to "create a 'braver, kinder world' for youths; create safe-spaces, promote the learning of life skills, and provide opportunities to improve their local communities."

Not all those are require monetary donation, and are more focused on education.

Just our two cents.

And since conservatives can’t bring themselves to acknowledge the reality of what’s happening to opportunity in America, they’re left with nothing but that old-time dog whistle. Mr. Ryan wasn’t being inarticulate — he said what he said because it’s all that he’s got.

Krugman indicts conservatives, and Paul Ryan in particular, of ignoring the facts of jobs and livable wages in the U.S.
